Hi all,
I've been here for a couple years now, and I've lost interest to the
point that I'm not doing a very good job of keeping my own system up to
date, much less maintaining ebuilds. That isn't fair to anyone at all.
It's time for me to move on.
Gentoo is a great distro. I've met plenty of
Hi guys,
Since I have not been active for a long time and I have no motivation at
the moment to spend more time on Gentoo, I'll be retiring as a Gentoo

I'm finally giving in to reality and retiring as a Gentoo Dev. I've
been effectively inactive since March last year and lack of time
means that isn't going to change any time soon. I'll still be using
Gentoo of course, so I'll still stick my nose in on bugzilla now and
again :)
